How many CURRENT owners of real '74 360 Duster 4 speed cars on here?
Some really , really nice Duster 360's here !
I've been a proponent of '72 - '76 A bodies since day 1 ( since seeing a brand new '74 Hang 10 Dart Sport 360 on the showroom in Spring '74 ) . Everyone thought I was crazy for liking --and being enthusiastic about-- these later "smog years" Darts , Dart Sports , Demons and Dusters .
I've heard of 4 speed 360-powered Dusters / Dart Sports being built for 1975 , but am yet to see one ( esp a legitimate one ) . 1974 was supposed to be the final year of performance engine/ manual transmission combinations (e.g. , 360 , 400 HP and 440 ).
Anyone here know whatever became of the infamous Car & Driver 1976 Dart Sport test car ? you know ; the one which beat the Corvette and just about everything else during that test !
It was a non-Ca model , as it was sans catalytic converters ; 220 hp wasn't hard to take during the automotive Dark Ages , right ?
Let's keep those stories and photos coming !
